Description

This property presents a remarkable opportunity for both equestrian enthusiasts and investors alike. Currently functioning as a well-established livery yard, it encompasses a comprehensive range of equestrian facilities, including indoor and outdoor arenas, extensive stabling options with a mix of American barn-style and traditional barns, as well as an array of paddocks totaling 27 acres. The premises also include two mobile homes that provide immediate accommodation while future developments are planned. Significant investment potential is highlighted by the existing full planning permission for two residential dwellings on the site. This includes plans for a four-bedroom detached house intended for managerial use and a three-bedroom bungalow designated for staff accommodations. This dual residential setup not only supports the ongoing equestrian operations but also opens avenues for generating additional income through rental opportunities once completed. The property is nestled in Eccliffe, a tranquil hamlet located just outside Shaftesbury, benefiting from excellent transportation links via the A350 and A303. The nearby town of Gillingham offers essential services, including supermarkets and mainline train connections to London Waterloo, making daily commuting feasible. For those seeking more urban amenities, Salisbury and Bath are within reasonable driving distance, providing a wide array of shopping, dining, and cultural experiences. In terms of recreational offerings, the surrounding countryside is perfect for horse riding, walking, and cycling. With established equestrian facilities that include multiple stable blocks—housing up to 38 stables—and supportive infrastructure like a horse walker and lunging pen, the property is well-equipped to continue its current use or evolve into a competition yard. Additionally, the numerous outbuildings provide ample options for further development or repurposing based on your vision. Whether you see this as an ideal location to expand an equestrian business or as an investment opportunity to enhance residential value in a desirable area, this property combines functionality with significant potential for growth in an attractive rural setting.
